Lea Michele and a Friend in West Hollywood, California on September 30, 2013

We're sure Lea Michele (Rachel) is still coping with the tragic death of her boyfriend Cory Monteith, so we were happy to see her looking relaxed and smiling during a night out with her girl friends.

The Glee actress was seen holding hands with a blonde gal pal while leaving Dominik's restaurant in West Hollywood, California on September 30. For the outing, Lea went casual in patterned pants, a black sweater, and heels. Lea also wore a hamsa necklace, which is a symbol that signifies protection in many societies.

Lately, Lea has also been wearing a silver “Cory” necklace to remember and honor her boyfriend and co-star. We've seen her wearing the necklace during multiple outings, so while Lea didn't have the meaningful jewelry on for this particular dinner, we're sure she's still keeping Cory close to her heart.
